About Raghu College of Pharmacy
If you drive up the highway from Vizag towards Vizianagaram, the traffic thins out just around Dakamarri, where Raghu College of Pharmacy sits against a backdrop of low-lying Eastern Ghats hills. The campus capitalizes on its position between two major coastal hubs, feeding pharmacy graduates directly into the industrial drug-formulation units of the region. Rather than the coastal humidity of the beach road, students here study in a drier, breezier inland corridor where the focus remains heavily on practical, hands-on lab work, supported by local training partnerships in the nearby Gambheeram industrial block.

How to Apply
Admission here divides cleanly between the state-conducted entrance test pool and the direct management seats. For the direct entry route, the college evaluates candidates on their raw science marks from the intermediate board exams. Eligible students bypass the centralized counseling web options but must register their credentials directly with the college administration to secure a spot under the B-category quota.
- Submit your physical intermediate mark sheet and transfer certificate directly to the administrative office in Dakamarri for eligibility verification.
- Provide proof of rank in AP EAPCET if applying through the state convenor quota, or class 12 board marks for management-seat consideration.
